I did try to blog yesterday but the Internet would not work for me when it was not thundering..sorry.
Cory left yesterday at 4 a.m. for a trip to Port-au-Prince and LaGonave. Genier traveled with him and helped to load the truck with over 1300 banana plants purchased by Starfysh and heading for LaGonave. As many boxes of Creole health books that could fit on the truck also made the trip South.
At 10 a.m. knowing we would be enjoying a break from formal school Cory called letting us know they reached the Irvine's house, near the Wesleyan boat dock and unloaded the plants and books. Later about 2 p.m. he updated us on their way from Immigration [where he'd renewed our residential visas] going across town. They shopped and then spent the night at the Gille's guesthouse.
Today they will head across the sea to LaGonave. Visit with friends. Visit the gardens and talk about the ongoing agricultural work as well as Starfysh's plans. Tomorrow they head back into Port to hopefully pick up the paperwork that should be ready at 10 a.m. If all goes VERY well in Port they will head back here tomorrow. The trip will take over 7 hours from Port.
Eli, Anna and I continue to work on school. I've found a hole in our English education-while learning our French 1,2,3rd person singular and plural tenses we noticed that my kid's cannot easily identify the pronouns in this manner. So our French studies now spill into English. I'm not sure what our teacher thinks about our progress but we continue to learn every lesson. I'm hoping for 'slow but steady' progress.
My folks started looking into tickets to come visit next year! Anyone want to join them? A few churches continue to talk about teams and pray about a visit. The big prayer request would be that when folks do decide they would like to come that the plane would still have open seats for the dates the team wants.
Prayers: Beth received her third round of chemo yesterday. Cory's trip.
Thankful: Electricity. Great times of learning with Eli and Anna. Wonderful support team.

Praying for safe travels, proper paperwork completed, Teams, education, health, patients, family …
God must be watching out very closely for all of you because we keep reminding him about you all the time. :-)
I pray that God would continue to bless the work of your hands, show your eyes his will, guide your feet on his path, and give you strength as you do his good will. Amen!
Thank you very much Peter. Those prayers work....I think my health is part of the blessing. Just look at the rest of the family. The Lord is blessing us and guiding us. Praise the Lord.
